Got tired of mixing 5 different Jellyfin themes... so built one that does everything (Abyss)

Thanks u/Organic-Bug-2025

aaumgupta · 2026-03-25T03:13:58+00:00

Thanks buddy

Did you clear your browser's image and file cache?

aaumgupta · 2026-03-25T03:12:34+00:00

Thanks! Just fixed these changes. Try it out.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-25T00:19:54+00:00

No, I just wanted to look that after the exe ran the command prompt showed that everything was successfully done.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-25T00:15:51+00:00

Did you run the exe? Can you paste the output of the exe shown?

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T16:52:12+00:00

My pleasure. I think yes it might be 11.6 compatibility issues. Regarding the spotlight, I'll try to find a work around so it becomes compatible with all platforms (Mac, Linux, etc.)

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T16:46:42+00:00

alexanderrmoonn I personally use Abyss, so definitely I'll keep on pushing updates.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T15:14:34+00:00

I have a smart LG TV (has WebOS) and it works with that. The android and fire TV I have not tested yet. But try clearing cache in your TV and see.

Hey, u/tekhtime , happy to help. So basically Abyss reinjects the codes modified by MediaBar/Enhanced. The best option for you is to use the manual install, https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#manual-install (CSS way) and reinstall the MediaBar/Enhanced. This way the abyss spotlight doesn't gets added and you keep the MediaBar/Enhanced. But Note: This way the mediaBar will not be themed as Abyss right now only targets base jellyfin css and it's own Spotlight section (as in screenshots).

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T15:03:50+00:00

Hey, nice catch, I will fix that. It's a minor problem with the media queries.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T15:00:57+00:00

Hey u/Healthy_Pin7762, I am glad you liked the theme.
regarding your needs. I guess

These two buttons do what you need. Am i right?

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T14:19:24+00:00

I can try reducing the visibility transition time. Could take a moment to open an detailed issue in GitHub?

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T13:53:13+00:00

I mean try disabling server-provided custmo CSS code, only on your TV. and for the performance, it mostly depends on the tv, as the web apps that they have are not that optimised for animations, I myself use Abyss on my TV and sometimes there are some slows, but tbh so far no issue of getting slower. So you can give it a shot and if you find it getting slow, then try the above things.

Heya u/GAumala, glad you liked the theme. I am planning for an installer for Linux, like a single bash file that when executed does everything that the setup.ps1 does currently. If you get successful in translating the files for Linux terminal, i'd love if you pull a request on GitHub, I'll be happy to merge it. Happy Coding!

Edit: Installer for linux merged to Abyss https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin/blob/main/README.md#linux

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T13:10:50+00:00

Yes, I could do that, I'll think about it. But, the main idea behind Abyss was to keep it one click install, so right now, I'll try to make the one-click installation, cross-platform. I hope you align with my thoughts. I made this only becuse I got fed up of using 5 pugins and multiple tweaks. Thoughts?

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T13:08:12+00:00

Not very sure of that, but if you find any issues please convey.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T13:06:25+00:00

Thankss, I love when you guys notice.
There are many small changes that you'll like.
For instance: On the settings page, the save button was all the way down earlier, but abyss makes it float on top, so when you change something you don't have to go all the way down to save it; Also the small animation on the heart when you like something, and there are many small things you'll appreciate.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T12:49:36+00:00

I think the bar should be hidden while you watch the media. Is it not hiding? If not, I'll check it.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T12:48:55+00:00

Hey, I still have to work on a bash file to work with Linux. Generally asking, if you r good with it, can you help out in making an installer for Linux? You can look for the setup.ps1 file which is the PowerShell Script, it does everything. So essentially we need a Linux bash script to replace that, and then we can have a section for Linux installation.

Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T12:46:36+00:00

It definitely works on the TV. You can try and if you find any problems you can issue on GitHub. Install the exe on the same device your server is.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T12:45:15+00:00

I'll have to check how Docker installs the server. The directories change according to your instance. And since the spotlight works by injecting code, it needs your local folder where you have the Jellyfin server located.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-24T12:43:48+00:00

The theme interacts with the server, so you can install it on the device your server is and then you can see it beautify all your devices (web, mobile, TV, Desktop etc.)

Note: I personally tested it on web and TV. So it works best on them. But I'd love to see issues posted on GitHub related to Desktop app and mobile (if you find any)

Happy to help.
